When a car crashes, there's usually a magnitude less people impacted then when a plane crashes. But you know what? Air travel is still much, much safer than car travel. Large but infrequent incidents can be much less dangerous than smaller but more common incidents in the aggregate.

Accurate, but be careful because once you go 2+ hours outside of Portland, OR you will likely find yourself once again among cognitively challenged folks...

I agree with everything you've said and reading this comment filled me with joy, but I'm still hungry...

There is an art to it - picking away strategically for maximum feels-good relief. Bonus if you get it off in one piece using tiny scritches over a long period of time.

If they have no problems with impropriety, blatantly breaking established norms and laws, and getting impeached a couple times, a President can do quite a bit!

I hate to burst your bubble, but Meta bought Oculus in 2014 and the Rift S didn't come out until 2019, so you already have a Meta product. I understand if it's more of a branding concern, and I love my Rift S as well, but it's still a Meta headset.

So the thought is that, sure they may have happily voted for someone found guilty of sexual assault, but felony fraud is the step too far? I'll take it, but I'm constantly amazed at how this is still a competitive race.

Many people can be selfless and wonderful, true, but the people who are selfish and cruel often work hard to be in positions of power and authority regardless of the system.

Yup! Nepotism = getting a job because of who you are related to. Networking = Getting a job because people who know your work give you an advantage.

While that experience likely sucked, imagine how much worse it would have been if your body didn't have a head-start on making antibodies.
